Abstract:
This visual-essay analyses the domestic space during Covid-19 lockdown. It is an auto-ethnographic documentation of how one family managed living with ADHD under lockdown. Assumptions and stereotypes about ADHD are broken down and challenged in the supporting narrative. These explain the complexity of living with ADHD and illustrate how very small, seemingly insignificant acts can have a large impact on managing the compounding effect an unprecedented situation like lockdown, on issues prevalent in those with ADHD such as anxiety, organisation, and lack of control over in personal circumstances. The author invites the reader to pay attention to the details of each of these images, to observe the visual communication cues that appear on the whiteboards, such handwriting by different people, doodles, illustrations, colour coding, and the layout that evolved over time, as personal agency within the family members developed.
